Who's your favourite female NPC?
Our Red String is already six chapters deep and you've had time to get to know most of the cast to some degree. The stories and relationships between Ian, Lena and the non-playable characters have been evolving to various degrees, and this last chapter took some leaps with some of them, while others are being foreshadowed.
So far, who's your favourite female character other than Lena herself? And which one of these characters would you like to see more content and interactions with?

Why isn't Alison number one? ;)
Emma has more votes, haha!
The fact that it was a real hard choice for me to a pick a favorite secondary character is a real testament to the writing and presentation of this game. Even a so-far minimal character like Cherry I wanted to pick because I always want to see more of her, but if I had to pick it was Holly for me. I love her dynamic with Ian and Lena and that they are the few people to actually "see" her and encourage her (at least in my playthrough). Plus she's utterly adorable. After chapter 6, I'm eager to see how her day-trip with Lena and Ivy will affect her in the next one.
They're all good, Holly is my favourite and I look forward to both the good/bad paths with her. Chapter 6 made me hope that we'll see a path where Ivy and Holly properly get together.
It's tough, the women are mostly all pretty likable. I'll go with Cindy, although Alison and Ivy are close seconds for me.
Amazon Ali being criminally underrated in this poll.
I want a Cindy, Holly and Ivy sandwich in the next chapter
Holly is probably the cutest, but I think Ivy represents how big of a step up the writing here is from GGGB. The closest analog to Ivy in that game was Jessica, but they really aren’t all that similar, outside of simply owning their sexuality. Jessica was confident in her sexuality, sure, but she was vain, vapid and rude. In short, she was kinda a one dimensional stereotype. Ivy shares her promiscuity and sexual confidence, but is kindhearted, fiercely loyal to her friends (namely Lena) and doesn’t take shit from fuckbois. She’s a real person who happens to like sex. So she’s my answer.
I had to throw a coin. Sorry Ivy, but this one goes to Holly. ;) Alison and Cindy weren't too far behind either.
If I have to pick one than my choice is Holly. She is too sweet and innocent. But Ivy is following just on second place and is nearly on the same step. For the third place I am a little undecided between Louise, Cherry and Emma. After them Alison then Cindy and last place Minerva.
Hmm, none of the 3 ladies leading the poll right now have had sex scene yet. I wonder if that's playing a role in the result or not. I mean, I’m quite sure both Cindy and Holly are pretty popular nonetheless, but still…
I'd like Holly no matter if she had any sex scenes or not. :)
Ivy is my favourite, even though it's pretty close between her and Alison for me. While there hasn't been any real woohoo with her, I like her supportive nature and that she doesn't ring any nutcase warning bells is also very nice. She works both as a support for Lena (either as a friend, friend with benefits or a romance option) and as a romance option. I think that it's well done that she has a corruptive influence on Lena without being an evil bitch. Instead, she's like "you sucked some dick? Good for you (●'◡'●)!". Even though Alison can be a bit snobby, she feels like a good match for Ian. I always feel a bit bad if I turn her down, which is a testament for the writing. And they can have very fun together! While I can see and understand that Holly and Cindy are popular, they aren't exactly my thing so far. I feel more like a wingman/wingwoman whenever I interact with Holly, and it feels wrong to go after Cindy as Ian (Lena, on the other hand... but that hasn't happened yet, and feel far off). All characters are unique and feel fleshed out, so it's easy to like or dislike them all. Something like Louise somewhat erratic behaviour (and brittle confidence) feel human, and that makes me more involved in their fate.
Holly definitely with Emma 2nd. Minerva's a bitch.
Come on Louise fans, I know I'm not the only one with a soft spot <3
I wanna see Louise together with Ivy and Lena in a lewd 3some scene!
This is a tough one. Tbh, I like all of the characters, but I'd say Cherry is my fav apart from Lena.
Close tie between Cindy and Ivy. I decided to go with the former because she is in a relationship, lol. I like almost all of them and am looking forward to future content with them, with the exception of Holly.
My absolute no.1 is Holly. I just adore her character and hope to see more of her interactions with other (both MC and NPCs).
Louise and Minerva are my favorites, how sad that they are the least voted on... I actually quite like Agnes too!
Definitely Holly. She gives off the same "please corrupt me" vibes as Iris in GGGB. Her design is very cute, making her look young in spite of her age in the game. I'd love nothing more than to see lots more content for her.
Holly is my favorite, as I am looking forward to seeing her grow and blossom as a character. What we've seen so far has been great and I am very much looking forward to her coming out of her shell, whether it's with Ian or Lena (or both).
They're all great, honestly, but Holly takes the top spot for me. I imagine there will be more of this for the other female NPCs later – we’re already seeing it a tiny bit with Cindy and Ivy mainly - but I really enjoy that Holly's story can be directly influenced by both Lena and Ian. Second would have to be Minerva after the most recent update. While the rest of the cast are all young and attractive, I like that you’ve added someone of a different age and body type into Ian’s sphere of influence. Unlike most of the young cast that’s chasing their hopes and dreams and desires, Minerva also offers a glimpse of someone who’s settled down and settled into middle management, but clearly has some repressed urges buried under it all. The workplace dynamic with Ian is great as well. I hope you expand on her story (possible slow burn route?) more in later updates!
I find there is a lack of warmth in Lena's friendships with Ivy and Louise (from either side, tbh), would like to see some non-sexual content to make those friendships make sense. Cindy seems to be fairly deep in the spiderweb, connected to so many characters. Would like to see her interact with Lena directly. I think it'd be cool if Lena and Ian could be buddies (or maybe casual fuckbuddies) rather than just having a romantic connection or nothing. Cherry, in my mind anyway, seems to be subsuming the role Emma was supposed to have in the story. Frankly, she's way more attractive so it doesn't really bother me. I'm not sure how big a role that is supposed to be either, maybe one or both need more attention.
I really enjoy Holly! I feel that there could be a really wholesome and dark and sexy route with her and I like that!
Kind of a tie between Holly, Louise and Minerva for me. Paradoxically I think I like Allison as a person the most, but as characters the first three are in much more interesting positions in the story with regards to where I could see things going from here. Holly is just adorably sweet, so I'm hoping for both entirely wholesome and loving romances with her whether she ends up with Ian, Lena or both, but also having her get dragged down a dark story route. That ties into my love for Minerva and how I'd like to see both a scenario where she gets put in her place, but also one where things are played straight from where they start out, with her becoming more and more dominating over Ian and also starts bringing Holly into the mix, perhaps by exploiting her feelings for him. Lastly there's Louise who, while hot, is kind of a basket case. That opens up a lot of fun options, whether it be in a rebound sex type scenario where Lena turns her into a devoted sub, manipulates things so Stan gets the opportunity to do all sorts of sneaky things or if she stays with Jeremy and Lena gets involved with them both.
I haven't played the game yet, so I'm going for Minerva. I can see some suppressed sexual energy in her, so she'll be fire in bed :) Also, no one had voted for her, and I'm always in for the underdog.
Has to be Cindy for me, mainly because of my personal preference, but I like Cherry, Ivy, Louise and Holly too. Especially the latter three with Lena’s path!
Cindy is going to win 100% so I voted for Holly, Emma and Cherry, though I'm on Alison's path and her content is continuously good as it is.
Holly definitely, really interested to see how she develops as she instilled with more confidence.
Got to be Cindy, mostly because she's taken (although for how long...!) but also as she's so hot. Holly is a close second, that nieve innocence is so alluring. However, after things happening in EP 6 one of them has shot up the list!
